Chapter 1099: Chapter 682: Execution Order (2)
She paused, then continued her analysis, "Amond is arrogant and boastful, unrestrained in speech. If we send other Tier Eight Royal Family members, I worry that before even clashing with Qin Tian, internal conflicts might arise. But Elder Guhai, as a Tier Eight powerhouse of the Ancient Dragon Race, commands respect both in status and strength. Even if Amond is reckless, he wouldn’t dare act too presumptuously before Elder Guhai. Lord Vilute is calm and reserved, not fond of confrontation, and wouldn’t take Amond’s excessive behavior to heart. So I believe it’s most suitable for these two lords to lead the team."
"Vilute and Guhai." Elder Guyun slowly nodded, pondered for a moment, and approved Megan’s judgment, "Alright, as you suggested. Inform Vilute and Guhai to take the troops and set out immediately, ensuring Qin Tian is slain—this is the primary task, and it must not fail."
Shifting his tone, he added, "Also, since three Tier Eight powerhouses and tens of thousands of warriors are dispatched, take care of San Tuo Mountain too. I want to see what kind of treasure is suppressed beneath that mountain."
"Yes!"
Megan slightly bowed, immediately turned and walked out of the tent, her silver tail gently swaying behind her, her pace calm yet incredibly swift, disappearing outside the tent in the blink of an eye.
...
The Eternal Ice Silkworm battalion.
Inside the tent, cold air permeated, with several ice crystals suspended in the air, reflecting a ghostly blue glow.
Some core members of the Eternal Ice Silkworm clan gathered here, each surrounded by a faint cold stream—the unique aura of the Eternal Ice Silkworm bloodline.
"Uncle, what orders does Elder Guyun have?" Broden asked Vilute, who had just set down the Sound Transmission Shell, with curiosity.
Vilute is currently ranked second in leadership strength among the Eternal Ice Silkworm clan, renowned across the Beastman Empire.
Like all members of the Eternal Ice Silkworm clan, he is slim and tall, his skin a nearly translucent jade white, with a pair of ice wings as thin as cicada wings on his back, a strand of cold stream flowing around, chilling the surrounding air into slight condensation.
His ice-blue eyes showed no ripple, like a millennium-old glacier, displaying no emotional fluctuation regardless of any news.
"Elder Guyun has commanded me to lead a team to San Tuo Mountain, along with Amond and Guhai, to execute a human Major General named Qin Tian." Vilute said calmly, without a hint of variation in his tone.
"What kind of person would warrant the involvement of you and Elders Amond and Guhai?" Broden’s face showed an expression of astonishment.
Not only him, but other Eternal Ice Silkworm members in the tent also revealed surprised expressions.
It must be noted, Vilute, Guhai, and Amond are Tier Eight Royal Family members and are top powerhouses within Tier Eight.
These three, even facing the human side’s Tier Eight peak Holy Blood, have the power to fight.
What kind of character requires such a luxurious array?
"Before setting out, we investigated the top human powerhouses dispatched, and the list didn’t have the name ’Qin Tian’." Another Eternal Ice Silkworm member said, frowning, "Who exactly is this person?"
Qin Tian?
Is it him?
In one corner of the tent, an Eternal Ice Silkworm’s eyes sparkled, he slightly bowed his head, using his long, silken silver hair to shield his expression, preventing anyone from seeing the color flash that passed through his ice-blue eyes.
"This Qin Tian is a Tier Seven Spiritualist." Vilute’s cold voice rang again, "But he fought Amond to a draw."
When these words were spoken, even he, normally unfazed, a touch of color flashed through his gaze.
What?!
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, followed immediately by a wave of skepticism.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible! Who is Amond? How could he not subdue a Tier Seven human?"
"Amond is hailed as the Behemoth War God, even the most elite Tier Seven Holy Blood among humans wouldn’t last three rounds against him. I refuse to believe there’s a human more terrifying than a Holy Blood talent!"
"I don’t believe it either, this must be misinformation."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, each person’s face full of skepticism and disbelief.
It was a defiance rooted in bloodline confidence—the Beastman Royal Family believes themselves supreme in physique and power over all races, and the Golden Behemoth is the pinnacle.
They couldn’t accept a human, a Tier Seven human, could rival a Tier Eight Golden Behemoth.
However, Vilute remained calm, letting the voices die down before speaking coldly, "You all know Amond’s character well. This intelligence was personally relayed by him to Grand Elder Guyun, and he voluntarily requested other forces’ involvement, insisting on killing Qin Tian."
Everyone was left speechless.
Who is Amond?
He is an inheritor of the Golden Behemoth clan’s brutish and vulgar traditions, even more so, a Tier Eight Royal Family member, a War God of the Behemoth clan, who ignores most Holy Blood or Beastman Royal Family members.
Such a powerhouse, if not faced with a challenging situation, how could he actively seek Elder Guyun’s assistance?
The Eternal Ice Silkworm tent fell into silence.
The skepticism vanished, replaced by an oppressive gravity. They began to realize that the human named Qin Tian might be far more formidable than they imagined.
Why isn’t such a genius from our Eternal Ice Silkworm clan, but from those lowly humans?
Such a thought, sour and complex, flashed through someone’s mind.
Without regard for the silence, Vilute continued, "According to Elder Guyun’s orders, I will lead a group to San Tuo Mountain. After executing Qin Tian, we will clear out the Stele Demon and acquire the treasure suppressed beneath the mountain. Broden, Jite, Betis—you three will join me."
"Yes!" The three Tier Seven members promptly replied.
"Uncle, I wish to accompany you too!" Kesler suddenly spoke up.
Vilute looked at him, emotionless in his ice-blue eyes, "You have your task, this action doesn’t require your presence."
"Uncle!" Kesler took a deep breath, his tone serious, "I have been in contact with this Qin Tian. I won’t hide it from you; Raymond of the Infernal White Tiger clan and I have been to Ice Extreme Pass, there we met Qin Tian and suffered considerable loss at his hands. Therefore, I request to participate this time. I want to witness Qin Tian’s demise in person, to take vengeance for myself."
Upon hearing this, the crowd nodded slightly. They also knew Kesler had faced significant defeat on Mingwang Planet, on human territory.
That incident had reached Elder Guyun then, sparking quite the controversy, unexpected the central figure was Qin Tian.
Seeing Kesler’s determined attitude, as if unwilling to step back unless agreed, Vilute pondered for a moment and eventually nodded, "Very well, you’ll participate this time."
"Thank you, Uncle." Kesler bowed his head, appearing deeply grateful.
Yet beneath the falling silver hair, a glint of cold light flashed through his ice-blue eyes, like a hidden current beneath the ice.
In his mind, a recent dialogue replayed—a transaction born of self-preservation.
"General Qin, as the Nine Stars Martial Arts Competition is about to commence, I know you’ll participate, and I will join too. My goal is simple—I need you to help me kill someone... my brother, Broden."
Recalling that dialogue, a chill rose in Kesler’s heart.
Qin Tian, Qin Tian, targeted by Elder Guyun, you are already traversing a dead end. But before your demise, radiate your residual brilliance and clear my path.
If successful... I’ll make sure your death is a swift one.
